Look at this topic, in pics you will see stock non-lowered E60 with 19" rims.
That E60 is mine and has no sport or any kind of lowering, its stock.

Check out my gallery. Page 2. I'm on my iPad otherwise I'd post pics 
My 525i had stock NON-sport suspension with 19" M5 rep wheels. Would the car have looked better with a 1.5-2 inch drop?....of course, but I thought it didn't look too bad the way it was. My #1 reason for not lowering the car was that I frequently drive on unplowed winter roads and ground clearance was key.
I since sold the 525i and picked up a Merc CLS63. Winters should be interesting

Winters will be interesting I had one dude don't even bother driving it I had continental 18" winter tires on their and it drove like crap I drove it for one winter and parked it the next 3 winters I had it. But I kept thinking like I had the wrong winter tires for my car and I did a research and found Perelli makes the fastest speed km/h rating for a winter tire=more grip on surface maybe try that may help.
lol. it's really not that much different. my friend has the sport, i have the non-sport. we ask our friends all the time to tell the differences. the only thing they notice is the 10-spoke wheels compared to the 5-spoke. before i bought an e60, i never noticed the difference. actually i only notice now because i read there is a difference. i would have never known otherwise.

This is my worry. It seems from the other pictures that putting on 19 would be ok w/o lowering (of course lowering will look better) but what if I'm putting on 245/40 and 285/35 instead of 245/35 and 275/30?
